This is going to be a really short post.
Shannon very kindly informed me yesterday that "You need to do another pot Mum". Yeah, right!"
Various comments came to mind, but like a dutiful Mum I just said "yes darling, I know".
The last week has been (hang on, I'm searching for the right word here) - will FRANTIC do? Getting everything organised, including tradesmen, to co-ordinate. They don't call 'em tradesMEN for nothing, girls. Now, if they were tradeswomen, another story. But, I digress.
After NINE WEEKS of living in a disaster area, my old kitchen is being ripped out (OMG, that sounds awful) tomorrow, & the new one put in. I WILL FINALLY HAVE A DISHWASHER! Surely, that alone was worth the stress? You think?
Two days later the kitchen & family area floors will be done (I hope) & next Wednesday the new carpet will be laid (did I spell that right?)
Anyhoo, if I survive the workmen & the mess, I will post some pics tomorrow. Basically, I'm planning on locking myself & my Maddie dog in the computer room, (with a lamp I'm working on), & not coming out until they've gone. Wish me luck.
Hugs, Coll :-}
PS: Just wanted to add these photos (it's the next day, work already in progress). Poor old kitchen, RIP.

Hi Coll,
It will totally be worth it, easy for me to say right? You have to show us pics of the completed project. Don't forget to come out of your room long enough to eat and drink...LOL!!
Hugs,
LeAnn :)
You are going to be so happy when it's all done. Can't wait to see the finished project. It's stressful to have work done around the house. Have a good day Coll!

We've been though the whole kitchen thing (and the bathroom thing...and the bedroom thing..and recently through the living room thing..) and even though it's REALLY hard to imagine - it is SOOO worth it! You'll be sure to post pictures, right? I'd love to see how it turns out and hear how much you love it! ANd just remember, it always takes longer than expected and costs more..just be aware :-)
